About TenQ
Free stock research, built from company filings.
TenQ turns SEC filings into clear stock reports, financial charts and transparent checks for retail investors.
We cover the most-followed US companies, and add more as we go. Every report is free to read, built from publicly reported company data, and designed to help you understand the business behind the ticker.
No paywall. No stock tips.
What TenQ gives you
Every company we cover has one report, built to make financial research easier to read and easier to verify.
Each report includes:
- Six chapters: value, growth, quality, financial health, shareholder returns and trend
- 36 pass-or-fail checks, applied consistently to every company
- Around 30 charts, each with a plain-English explanation
- A chart-free fact sheet when you just want the key figures
- Links to the SEC filing and filing date behind each chart
There is nothing to sign up for and nothing held behind a paywall.
We expand coverage deliberately rather than automatically. A company is added only when its filings can be processed reliably and its business description has been reviewed by a person.
Where the numbers come from
Financial statement data is computed from SEC EDGAR XBRL filings - the structured financial data public companies submit to the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
These are the figures company executives report and sign off on. We do not fill gaps with estimates or assumptions. If a company has not tagged a figure in a way we can use reliably, the report says so rather than guessing.
Every chart identifies the filing behind its data and the date it was filed.
Share prices are delayed, end-of-day prices. They refresh once each trading night. If a card uses information that does not come from a filing or a share price, it identifies its source.
Reports, fact sheets and insights are generated: the same filings always produce the same page. Three things use a language model. Each report carries one editorial note, a sentence on the question the latest earnings release leaves open, and a company story, both written from that release and dated, every figure in them checked. And articles under News are written pieces that a language model helps write. The figures in an article are the same computed figures as the chart it is built around.
How the TenQ Score works
The TenQ Score is a count of checks passed out of 36. It is not an analyst rating, a forecast or a buy-or-sell signal.
Every company is assessed across six areas:
- Value - how the share price compares with selected financial measures
- Growth - whether key company figures are increasing over time
- Quality - profitability, efficiency and other measures of business strength
- Financial health - balance-sheet strength and ability to meet obligations
- Shareholder returns - dividends, buybacks and the use of shareholder capital
- Trend - a consistent reading of recent share-price behavior
Each area contains six checks with a pass-or-fail outcome.
Every check shows the figure it used, the threshold it was measured against, and why it passed or failed. That is more useful than a single score alone: you can disagree with a threshold, see exactly what changes, and still inspect the reported number beneath it.
The rules are fixed and applied in the same way to every company. The same reported inputs produce the same result.
What TenQ is not
TenQ is a tool for research - not a replacement for judgement.
It is not:
- Personalised investment advice
- A stock-rating service or broker recommendation
- A price-target or forecasting product
- A buy-or-sell signal
- A black-box screener that hides how its results are produced
- A substitute for reading original company filings
A high TenQ Score does not mean a stock will rise. A low score does not mean it will fall. The score is simply a clear, consistent way to see how a company performs against TenQ's published checks.
Independent and free
TenQ is independent. We are not owned by, paid by or affiliated with any company we cover, or with any broker, fund, issuer or data vendor.
Companies cannot pay to be included, excluded or scored differently.
TenQ is free to read and supported by advertising. Advertising is sold and placed independently of company coverage, report content and TenQ Scores.
Why TenQ exists
TenQ is built by a small group of private investors.
We are not licensed financial advisers, and we are not a media company. We are people who have spent years reading filings for our own investing and grew frustrated that the tools which make financial research easier are often expensive, complicated or built for institutions.
Public filings belong in public. Understanding them should not require a terminal, a subscription or blind trust in someone else's rating.
TenQ exists to make the underlying numbers easier to find, easier to understand and easier to check for yourself.
Institutional-grade research, handed to you.

Corrections and contact
If a figure looks wrong, it might be. Email hello@tenq.co with the company ticker and the chart, figure or page you are looking at.
We will investigate it. If the number is wrong, we will correct it at the source so the update flows through every TenQ page that uses it. If the number is right, we will show you the filing it came from.
For questions, feedback or ideas, email hello@tenq.co. There is a person at the other end.
